Famous Horse Names

Here you'll find famous horse names shared by other horsecrazygirls like you! Feel free to comment on any of these names or share your favorite famous horse names here.

Santana

(Dee, USA)I chose this name because it makes me think of a wild untamed stallion and On the TV show Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris rode a wild stallion by the name of Santana.

Apollo

(RayRay, Canada)I chose this name because it is really interesting. It comes from ancient Greece.

Odyssey

(Zoe, USA)My favorite horse name is Odyssey because it is very different and sounds so beautiful. It is the perfect name for a beautiful graceful horse. Not only does it sound beautiful but it reminds me of a strong horse. It would make my day to own or ride a horse named Odyssey. I think it is the perfect name for almost any horse.

Dreamer

(Akoiya, America)I think it's a very graceful name for a horse.

Spirit

(Alyssa, Pennsylvania)It is a name that can describe a horse or remind people that horses have spirit in them no matter what and it won't go away.

Flicka

(Laura)It's a classic name. I used to lease a horse named Flicka and she was the best thing ever.

Armani

(Georgia, Wisconsin)My horse is a French Thoroughbred and Armani is just a cool name that happens to be a French designer.

Bucephalus

(Riley, FL)It was a Greek king's favorite horse. Bucephalus was his fastest, strongest, and bravest horse. He named a city after him - the great, old city of Bucephalus.

Black Beauty

(Morgan, Delaware)I want a young black Arabian mare so I don't see her die and I also always wanted an Appaloosa. I love the color black that's why I like black beauty for a horse name.

Misty

(Rhiannon, USA)After reading the book "Misty of Chincoteague" a couple years ago, the name Misty has been one of my favorite horse names. I would love to get a Chincoteague pony and name her Misty. I highly recommend the name to anyone who has a flaxen chestnut, or any other light colored horse. And I also recommend the book! ;)

Seabiscuit

(Christina, USA)He was a little horse and he made a big name for himself!

I don't like the name Patrick either! I would have named the horse, Sugar.(Well, I don't know if I would for SURE but I do like that name)

Bucephalusby: Anonymous

This horse mentioned above - was Alexander The Greats Horse - he was a polydactyly horse, meaning several digits on one hoof. There was another famous King that rode a polydactyly horse as well.

Interesting how he was named though.

Shamby: Anonymous

I like the name Sham. Sham was the name of the horse in the book, King of the Wind. I love that story. Plus, this name is short and rolls off your tongue.

Need good stallion names for a Connemara with a liver chestnut coat. Help please!

Cherish, and Edelwiessby: Megan

I don't own a horse but I wish I do! I have a cat named Edelweiss (from "Sound of Music") and I love that name. I like Cherish because it means deeply loved. I also like names of birds like Blue Bird, Chickadee, and Falcon.

My best friend just got a horse and looks exactly like Joey from the movie Warhorse, she was wondering if she should name her horse after Joey from Warhorse. I just wanted to give her the right answer! Any opinions?! Thanks!

Simply Hotby: Meghan

Simply hot is my fave cause my cousin used to own him and he sure is pretty!

I think Shadowfax for a white horse because if any of you watched Lord of the Rings, it is the name of the white horse lord of all horses. I like the name Shadowfax because it is a great name and not very common. Shadowfax is the name I would name a white horse if I got one.

Horse Namesby: Chelsea & Thowra

I love the name Thowra. If any of you horse lovers have seen the movie 'The Silver Stallion' and love palominos, then this is the name for you. I named my horse Thowra which means wind. It's a beautiful name and would suit any horse, especially palominos.
